History

Established in 1965.

SPC opened in 1965 with only two employees, Buren and his wife Peggy. Buren put in the labor and mechanical expertise and Peggy watched over SPC’s finances. A few years of hard work built SPC’s foundation and guaranteed that the company would be ready for the big changes that would occur in the years to come.

In summer of 1965, Buren asked the President of the Bank of Rocky Mount, Mr. Young Pulley, to help him obtain a SBA Loan. The application required an ample amount of paperwork including references from engineers and banks, and a complete business plan. With Mr. Pulley’s help, the application was approved, and he is owed a debt of gratitude for his assistance. Part of Mr. Pulley’s legacy was helping young, ambitious individuals start their own businesses. Without this loan, there would be no Southern Piping Company.

Today the firm has grown to nearly 500 employees throughout North Carolina and continues to be a successful family owned and operated business.
